Vikings finally get in

Thanks to a big 23-yard catch from Adam Thielen and an actual run game, the Vikings took a lead after Matt Asiata pounded in a one-yard touchdown. There was a false start on the extra point and then Kai Forbath missed the extra point. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Rhodes penalty sets up Jacksonville TD

It was third and five and the Jaguars were at their own 35. Bortles ran for six yards and after, Xavier Rhodes was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, putting the Jaguars in Vikings territory.

There was another penalty on Mackensie Alexander, which led to Bortles hitting Brian Walters for a 14-yard touchdown, giving the Jaguars a four-point lead.

Thielen pushes Vikings to FG

Adam Thielen had 38 receiving yards, including a big 12-yard first down on third down to get the Vikings to the Jacksonville 32. Of course the Vikings couldn’t get in the endzone, but Forbath hit from 46 yards to get the Vikings up three. He’s 4-for-4 on the day.

Myers ties game going into half

The Vikings needed one yard and had two plays to do it, but failed on both tries (story of the season). The Jaguars took over and drove 92 yards on 10 plays, which included a 32-yard pass interference call on Xavier Rhodes. And then Myers hit a field goal to tie the game.

For how this game started, tied at half is kind of a mess for the Vikings.
